Erekat Holds the Current Israeli Government Responsible for Incitement and Calls for International Protection
Erekat's issued his comments after Israel's Channel 10 televised a report that was both shocking and insightful, speaking volumes to the culture of hate that permeates Israeli society. The report was based on an experiment organized by Channel 10, whereby a Palestinian with and an Israeli –Jew posted on Facebook declaring their intention of committing a violent attack against Israelis and Palestinians. The results of the two posts were staggering. The Palestinian, Shadi Khalieleh, received only 7 likes on his post. He received numerous calls warning him that his Facebook account has been hacked and other calls urging him to not commit any type of attack. On the contrary, the Israeli (Daniel Levy) received more than 1200 likes on his post, 10's of shares, and various comments declaring their support, respect and even willingness to assist in committing the crime. While, the Israeli police took matters seriously in the case of Shadi Khalileh and broke into house with the intention of arresting him, Khalieleh was however not in the house, the Israeli police then issued a call for him to show-up for interrogation. He was only released once channel 10 was able to prove that this was an experiment and did not constitute an actual threat. On the hand, in the case of Daniel Levy, no police action was taken and he was never called for interrogation or detained for the threatening comments he made on facebook declaring his intention of attacking Palestinians.
